| Description of the problem | Low beam headlights have become so dim, they are unusable. At night, the low beams do not illuminate more than 10-15 feet in front of the car while moving, forcing you to use the high beams to have any visibility, which is dangerous to oncoming cars. Low beams do not illuminate street signs or side lines of roads. Any rain makes it even worse. Searching for a solution has revealed this is a well known problem with no solution from nissan. |
